# Mobile Testing
<default_to_action>
When testing mobile applications:
1. DEFINE device coverage matrix (Tier 1: 60%, Tier 2: 30%, Tier 3: 10%)
2. TEST platform differences (iOS ≠ Android: back button, permissions, UI)
3. VALIDATE touch gestures (tap, swipe, pinch, long-press)
4. TEST mobile-specific scenarios (offline, low battery, interruptions)
5. USE real devices for critical paths, emulators for fast feedback
**Quick Mobile Checklist:**
- Test on latest iOS + Android flagship devices
- Test offline mode and network transitions
- Verify push notifications work
- Test gesture interactions (swipe, pinch)
- Check permissions flow (camera, location, notifications)
**Critical Success Factors:**
- Emulators for 80% of testing, real devices for 20% critical paths
- Test on devices your users actually use (analytics)
- Device fragmentation is Android's biggest challenge

## Quick Reference Card
### When to Use
- Native app development (iOS/Android)
- Hybrid apps (React Native, Flutter)
- Mobile web / PWAs
- App store submission preparation
### iOS vs Android Differences
| Aspect | iOS | Android |
|--------|-----|---------|
| OS Versions | 2-3 supported | 10+ in use |
| Devices | ~40 models | 1000+ variants |
| Back Button | Gesture/nav | Hardware/software |
| Permissions | Single prompt | Runtime granular |
| App Store | Strict review | Google Play + sideload |
### Device Coverage Tiers
| Tier | Coverage | Devices |
|------|----------|---------|
| **Tier 1** | 60% users | iPhone 15, Galaxy S24, iPad |
| **Tier 2** | 30% users | iPhone 14/13, Pixel 8 |
| **Tier 3** | 10% users | Older devices, other manufacturers |

## Mobile-Specific Scenarios
```javascript
// Offline mode testing
test('app works offline', async () => {
await driver.toggleAirplaneMode();
await driver.findElement('view-saved-items').click();
const items = await driver.findElements('saved-item');
expect(items.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
const banner = await driver.findElement('offline-banner');
expect(banner.getText()).toContain('No internet');
await driver.toggleAirplaneMode(); // Restore
});
// Location testing
test('location-based features', async () => {
await driver.setGeoLocation({
latitude: 37.7749,
longitude: -122.4194,
altitude: 0
});
const stores = await driver.findElement('stores-list');
expect(stores.getText()).toContain('San Francisco');
});
// Permission testing (Android)
test('camera permission flow', async () => {
await driver.findElement('take-photo').click();
// Handle permission dialog
await driver.findElement(
'com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button'
).click();
expect(await driver.findElement('camera-view')).toBeDefined();
});
```

## Agent-Driven Mobile Testing
```typescript
// Cross-platform mobile testing
await Task("Mobile Test Suite", {
platforms: ['iOS', 'Android'],
deviceTiers: [1, 2],
tests: 'regression-suite',
parallelDevices: 5,
deviceFarm: 'browserstack'
}, "qe-test-executor");
// Device farm integration
await Task("Device Farm Execution", {
service: 'browserstack',
devices: [
'iPhone 15 - iOS 17',
'Samsung Galaxy S24 - Android 14'
],
recordVideo: true,
captureNetworkLogs: true
}, "qe-test-executor");
```

## Agent Coordination Hints
### Memory Namespace
```
aqe/mobile-testing/
├── device-matrix/* - Device coverage strategy
├── platform-tests/* - iOS/Android specific tests
├── gesture-library/* - Reusable gesture patterns
└── performance/* - Mobile performance metrics
```
### Fleet Coordination
```typescript
const mobileFleet = await FleetManager.coordinate({
strategy: 'mobile-testing',
agents: [
'qe-test-executor', // Cross-platform execution
'qe-performance-tester', // Mobile performance
'qe-visual-tester' // Screen size validation
],
topology: 'parallel'
});
```

## Remember
**Test on real devices for critical flows.** Emulators catch 80% of bugs but real devices are needed for actual performance, sensor behavior, and platform quirks.
**With Agents:** `qe-test-executor` orchestrates testing across device farms, manages platform differences, and tests 10+ devices in parallel.
